Every Time I Die have shared two new tracks.
A Colossal Wreck and Desperate Pleasures are the first new music to emerge from the Buffalo-based band since 2016's 'Low Teens'. The former is a pummelling two and half minute hardcore whirlwind of frantic guitars, driving drums and guttural vocals, with the latter following suit, though offering up some more melodic moments and tonal differences with spoken word segments. Vocalist Keith Buckley said:
"[The songs are] two sides of the same reactionary coin. While ‘Colossal Wreck’ looks around at the current state of the world and says ‘life is a punishment and only the worst of us thrive’ and, ‘Desperate Pleasures’ takes a more optimistic approach and renounces the nihilistic/accelerationist attitude of the voice that came before. It says that without hope, even in the face of such universal anguish, only death is certain and to give up now when those around us need it most is a treacherous act of pure cowardice. That said, I'm not sure which is worse, bein-g a coward or being a cynic. Probably a coward. At least cynics have a sense of humor.”
As live shows are not taking place due to COVID-19, ETID have lined up the Online Telethon Extravaganza for December 19. Head here for more details.
The band will hit the road again next year when supporting Parkway Drive on their summer Australian tour.
